Automatic Detection and Classification of Diabetes Using Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Diabetes is characterized as a chronic disease that may cause many health complications. Artificial intelligence techniques are adopted diagnose diabetes more accurately. This paper presents an artificial intelligence technique for diabetes diagnosis. Efficacy of the technique is evaluated using diabetes database. Experimental results show that the back propagation neural network algorithm yields the highest classification rate compared to k-nearest neighbourhood classifier. Additionally, the back propagation neural network provides error with the highest area under curve of 90 %.
